I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 258 - 254 The Terrifying Intelligent Animal
Chapter 258: Chapter 254 The Terrifying Intelligent Animal Chapter 258 -254 The Terrifying Intelligent Animal “It has intelligence…”
The Hummingbird said with a trembling voice.
Wild beasts are not to be feared, nor are monsters.
Because humans are high-intelligence creatures, whether it’s a wild beast or a monster, no matter how formidable it is, humans can crush it with their superior intelligence.
Don’t even mention that ‘strength can overcome ten tactics’!
That is a measure among creatures of the same level.
When the intelligence of one creature can completely crush that of another, even if the crushed creature is stronger and more vigorous, it will just be toyed to death.
This is the unwritten rule of fighting among creatures.
It applies to the same species, and also to different ones.
For example, Xiang Yu, the supreme overlord throughout the ages with off-the-charts Combat Power – didn’t he end up committing suicide at the Wu River, outsmarted by Liu Bang’s team of strategists?
That is an example among the same species.
Between different species, there are even more examples.
Humans can hunt tigers and kill bears!
Is it because the Combat Power of humans is stronger than that of tigers and bears?
Of course not!
It’s because humans have a higher intelligence!
A gun, a dose of poison, a trap.
These are the deadly weapons derived from high intelligence against wild beasts.
Just like the Giant Serpent on the ground, neither Tom nor Taotie were its match.
Wasn’t it still taken out by a few of Tom’s little bombs?
So…
What’s terrifying is not brute strength, but intelligence!
“Nonsense!”
“It’s an animal, not a machine!”
“Isn’t it very normal for it to have intelligence?”
Hearing the Hummingbird’s words, Tom was almost made to laugh in anger as he busied himself with his tasks, retorting without looking up.
Taking advantage of the standoff between the Giant Serpent and the Hummingbird, Tom quickly took various small parts from his pocket and began to assemble the secret weapon to use against the Giant Serpent.
Until now, constantly hunted by the Giant Serpent, Tom had no time to tailor a lethal weapon specifically for it.
“It’s not…”
“I’m not talking about the kind of intelligence you’re referring to!”
“I’m talking about this snake being an intelligent creature!”
The Hummingbird was so aggravated by Taotie’s retort that it was hopping mad.
“What?”
This time Tom heard clearly,
and was greatly shocked!
Obviously…
Tom also knew the terror of intelligent creatures.
Intelligent creatures are a generic term for animals with high intelligence.
They often possess both the terrifying claws and combat ability of beasts as well as intelligence comparable to humans, making them extraordinarily difficult to deal with and highly destructive when their intelligence is in play.
Even the top assassin would get a headache when dealing with ordinary intelligent creatures, let alone giant monsters like the Giant Serpent.
Five years ago, when Tom was on a mission abroad, he witnessed an intelligent creature slaughter event.
A small assassin base had killed a target who owned a Tibetan Mastiff. That Tibetan Mastiff, an intelligent creature, remembered the scent of the assassins.
The Tibetan Mastiff traveled hundreds of kilometers alone, quietly followed the assassins back to their base, and began its plan for avenging its owner, slaughtering dozens of fully armed assassins, including a few second-tier assassins.
It was only when Tom saw the Tibetan Mastiff, blinded by revenge and attacking passersby indiscriminately, that he personally stepped in and blew the Mastiff to bits with a string of grenades.
During the fight with the Tibetan Mastiff, Tom personally experienced the terror of intelligent creatures, and even he, the top assassin, was wounded by the Mastiff during the battle.
Thinking back, Tom still feels a chill.
An ordinary Tibetan Mastiff could be easily killed by a second-tier assassin.
But an intelligent Tibetan Mastiff could go head-to-head with him, the top assassin, showing just how dreadful intelligent creatures can be.
Tom’s eyes changed as he looked at the Giant Serpent.
“Taotie, come out quickly!”
“If you don’t come out now, we’re all going to die!”
Tom yelled at the crevice.
“Stop rushing me, I’m trying…”
Taotie replied with the tone of someone constipated.
“Hiss hiss hiss~”
The Giant Serpent hissed, emitting a string of sharp sounds.
It seemed to be taunting the Hummingbird, as if it were mocking her.
“Use the gun!”
Tom shouted to the Hummingbird.
Right now, Tom couldn’t afford to conserve ammo.
Hearing Tom’s words, the Hummingbird, who had been forcefully disarmed by the Giant Serpent, could only pull out her gun.
At the moment the Hummingbird drew her gun, a hint of wariness flashed in the solitary eye of the Giant Serpent.
The Hummingbird, who had been keeping a close watch on the Giant Serpent, caught the wariness in its eye, and became even more certain that this serpent was an intelligent creature.
Before, when Tom had used the gun and managed to shoot the Giant Serpent’s eye by luck, it was purely accidental because the serpent had always lived in the mountains and didn’t recognize guns or know their power. Now, having paid the price in blood, it understood the lethality of guns; trying to take advantage of guns again would be as hard as ascending to heaven.
“Hiss hiss hiss~”
The Giant Serpent let out a string of sharp hisses.
The next second!
The Giant Serpent moved!
A massive tail, accompanied by a whooshing wind, swept towards the Hummingbird.
The Hummingbird, startled, hurriedly dodged.
She certainly didn’t want to be flattened into a pulp by the serpent’s tail.
Seeing the Giant Serpent attack the Hummingbird,
Tom immediately provided support.
With his handgun aimed at the Giant Serpent’s head, he pulled the trigger repeatedly, and amid the “bang bang” of loud gunfire, the hot bullets consecutively hit the serpent’s body.
The handgun was effective against humans,
But against a Giant Serpent that was over twenty meters long, it was somewhat powerless.
The bullets hit the Giant Serpent, splashing droplets of blood, but they only shattered its scales and got lodged in the flesh, failing to cause any substantial damage to the creature.
“Hiss!”
Feeling pain, the serpent hissed angrily.
It immediately abandoned the Hummingbird and charged straight for Tom.
Compared to the Hummingbird, the Giant Serpent hated Tom more.
It was this little monkey who had blinded it with that strange, fire-spitting contraption.
And now, this little monkey was shooting at it again with that weird thing, damn it!
Today, it had to swallow this little monkey whole to relieve the pain of its blinded eye.
“Damn it!”
“It’s coming for me!”
Seeing the Giant Serpent charging at him, Tom cursed under his breath, pulled out a couple of Sprite Ball Bombs from his pocket, and threw them into the serpent’s mouth.
Meanwhile, Tom turned and ran for his life,
Fearing he’d be blown away by the shockwave of the explosion again.
The Giant Serpent, an undeniably intelligent creature, having previously suffered from its ignorance, would not risk itself again; it quickly closed its mouth and turned its head away.
The Sprite Ball Bombs hit the snake’s body.
They exploded instantly!
“Boom boom” went the explosions.

A cloud of dust and smoke billowed through the tunnel.
Amidst the dust, the Giant Serpent’s angry hissing could be heard.
As the dust cleared, the Giant Serpent’s body was revealed.
According to the law of ‘where there’s smoke, there’s no serious injury,’ naturally, the serpent had not suffered any grave damage.
However, one side of its body had been blasted into a bloody, indistinct mess over a meter in length by the Sprite Ball Bomb.
Fragments of shattered scales littered the ground, and the areas not affected by the blast were also scorched black by the explosion.
With its remaining eye, the Giant Serpent glared at Tom with rage. The horrific murderous intent made Tom shiver, knowing full well that he had earned the serpent’s hatred.
